I Make 7-Feet Tall Snow Sculptures In My Front Yard

ADVERTISEMENT

I designed a plywood form to create the initial column. Once it ‘sets’ in the form, I take the form off and start carving!

    I turn the eyes on a lathe and then paint them

    The team from 2013-2014

    This group loved to sing. They looked a bit mysterious at night

    A late season experiment for next year. I sometimes carve on two sides

    The process of creation. It takes just over an hour to carve

    I make 8' tall snow sculptures in my front yard usually with non-packing snow! I live in Waterloo, Ontario. But only after a good snowfall. Later they melt away.

    Your neighbours must love you, would be really great to have this in my street :) I would like to suggest to change your photography, the HDR shots and high contrast make some of the statues look really fake. The Jimmy photo is by far my favourite because it just looks the most natural.
